Yesterday’s Child

An attempt to look at the foundational years of childhood and the different needs of the child. Written more from her involvement in the upbringing of her four daughters than from an interest in child psychology, the author claims to be uncommitted to any one school of psychotherapy or counselling.

Failure in the family relationship; a biblical pattern for the family; the secret place (in the womb); a hazardous journey (birth); “His majesty, the baby’; the age of discovery; sexuality exploited or explored; widening horizons; the age of change.Foreword by Leanne Payne
There will be no hope for the future when the past remains unconfessed, unreceived and misunderstood.’Henri Nouwen
Mary Pytches’ many years of counselling experience have firmly convinced her that what we arc today is the
result of our past. In Yesterday’s Child she lifts the veil from our foundational years of childhood, showing that situations and good and bad experiences, often forgotten or hazily remembered, can influence us adults.

months; 15 months•3 years; 3-6 years; 6-12 years and adolescence. Practical questions and helpful exercises follow each chapter, helping the reader to come to terms with his or her past and to lead others to a better self- awareness and understanding of their formative years so that positive healing can follow.About the author:MARY PYTCHES, wife of Bishop David Pytches, has helped develop a significant work in pastoral
counselling at St. Andrew’s, Chorleywood. She is the author of Set My People Free and A Healing Fellowship.
